During enrollment, commission members urged students to vote for the congressman to vote for the amendment. Kathy Browne, a sophomore junior, and commission publicity chairman, said Sunday that 156 students had completed cards which were sent to Washington.
A sample card written by commission members appealed to congressmen "to support the Equal Rights Amendment H. J. Resolution 208, with no crippling effect, such as the Wiggins amendment."
"Most were sent to Repars. Larry Winn, (R-Overland Park) and William Roy, D-Topeka, but there were also some sent to other congressmen from Kansas and Missouri." Miss Knick-meyer said.
Resolution 208 stated that women should be regarded as male equals under federal and state laws.

The telegram congratulated the KU commission for seeking equal opportunities for women, Miss Mitchelson said.

19th, Iowa Light Up Within Year Part of Project
The proposed traffic light at 19th and Iowa streets is tied into a larger project that should be completed in less than a year. Williams, director of Lawren public works, said Monday.
The second part of the project still needs approval of the state department and the regional office of the Federal Highway Administration.
The first part of the project will be the widening of 15th Street to four lanes for about 400 feet east of its Iowa intersection. He said that the project will need to approve the project today and that bids would be let soon.
The second part of the project is the placing of left turn bays on two roads that were widening 180% so that there will be three lanes of traffic coming into the intersection with Iowa Street and placing the 19th street traffic lane.

Since the new Student Hospital coverage does NOT pay maternity benefits, you may be interested in learning of a plan that DOES include Liberal Maternity Benefits.
